I changed the leaf textures from "Canopy Creek (Summer)" and replaced the leafy underbrush with golden grass. I wanted to make sure to keep some green leaves visible here and there to note that the transition to fall was not yet complete.

This is wonderful. Everytime its on my screen, people stop and ask me where I shot the photo and are so surprised to find out it was generated. I always tell 'em where I got it and how wonderful all the rest of your stuff is...Thank you for making being trapped at a desk a better experience.

This is my favorite of the Canopy Creeks. I love the colors and the atmosphere this one brings. A beautiful rendition in my favorite season; thanks Ryan!

Very nice. I only wish it came in 3840x1200 with split files (I have 2 machines I run at 1920x1200 side by side).

A really neat Autumn picture! Just the right blend of color and light. Almost as good as " October Flame ". It totally changes the nature of the picture from the regular version. If your main Autumn project is better than this I can wait!

I've loved your work since I was introduced to it about two years ago. Of all of your work, nothing has captured my imagination the way this particular piece has. Every detail in the terrain and treeline is an important one; even the break in the treeline in the back leads me to wonder what is beyond.

Thanks for doing what you do. It may not always seem like it, but putting in the work you do and sharing your imagination with us is appreciated. I hope you're earning enough to support yourself and to support continued time in this project.

IT seems to me this would be a good starting point for a quick and dirty Halloween version of this? Make it night, add some ghouls and whatnot...

I've posted a new dual-screen file. The original was corrupted due to some problems I've been having with my internet connect recently.

The endless sandy scenery here is completely void of trees to which one can enjoy the beauty of Autumn. Thank you for yet another captivating view that has me dreaming of home. I miss the smell of the forest, the lush green grass, and the sound of the trees gently blowing in the wind.

Awesome pic. Love your nature scenes, especially when the seasons change. They're always very befitting of my moods. This one in particular is phenomenal. Can't wait to see the one that's rendering =)

John

"Great Idea!"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 3:24 pm

I think that adding new additions of wallpapers is a great way to fill in the gaps between the new ones! On another note, I totally like the idea of winter and spring versions of this. I actually can't imagine how you could make a spring version more "springy" then the original Canopy Creek, but it would be interesting to see how you would change it.

Justin

"On multi-screens..."

Tue October 13, 2009 at 2:41 pm

Is a multi-screen version of "Enshrouded" still in the pipeline, or did it continue to fail? That has to be one of my favorites!

Nate F

"whoa"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 2:28 pm

oddly enough, just this past week i had been looking through all of your previous images and i looked at canopy creek and thought "an autumn version of this would be great", and poof there it is.

a wonderful image i must say, and the idea of winter and spring editions is a very good one. last year i remember you had an image that several fans wanted a seasons version of but you stated that it couldn't be done because of the way the tree was constructed (not full behind the leaves i think).

this is definitely going in my top 100 DB images. (that's why i noticed the original last week, i was busy downsizing the amount of files on my PC).

Nate

"Seasonal versions = yay"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 1:14 pm

I change my computer themes based on the seasons, and for some reason quality fall wallpaper is hard to find. Except this new one made me happy since my old wallpaper was stale. I'd like a wintery version of this...

Ryan

"Leaf Variations"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 1:11 pm

I did add some variation to the leaf colors (note the 2 in the filename). It looked a little too busy when I varied it more than it is now though.

The multi-screen will have more yellows and greens.

I could definitely do winter and spring versions. Sounds like fun!

Jenanne

"Seasons"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 12:45 am

I second the other two versions of this render. With a current rating of 8.75, it seems many feel you did a great job. Canopy Creek was splendid, this autumn version is splendid, and a set of four would be four times as splendid!

"Autumn Canopy Creek"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 11:54 am

Well it just so happens that I love this time of year with all the fall colors on the trees and the comfy cozy feeling of the cold weather setting in and having hot chocolate and the like. When I first saw this wallpaper I was excited because I'm always looking for more autumn wallpapers. I find this one interesting, in the sense that it almost has a dark feeling to it. The colors are beautiful, but then you have the dark side of the picture and it almost gives that walking alone at night in the woods feeling, (maybe that's just a me thing). This is not bad and I'm glad you were able to render such a great wallpaper. As always Great Job Ryan! Keep up the good work.

It's got a different, relaxed feel for an autumn landscape. Al least from my New England perspective. I like it.

Ryan

"Sun Angle"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 11:10 am

You're correct that I did not change the light angle. If it's a different time of year then the angle should be different.

I thought it worked so well in the original I didn't want to monkey with it (other than changing the color).

William

"A Warm New Approach!"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 10:08 am

I find this render much more relaxing than the summer version, which presented such a powerful "green" mood. It is a little weird that the sun beams are at such a high angle, but I'm not bothered by that. The whole atmosphere of the piece is fantastic.

ppisarek

"Sun Angle?"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 9:41 am

Awsome looking render, I at first thought it was too orange-ish but it kind of grew on me.

The only nit I have to pick is the angle of the sun. To get that color light it would need to be late afternoon. Yet the sunbeams (lightsource) are only about 15degrees off vertical.

It would be awsome to see what a result of lowering the angle to maybe no more than 20-30 degrees above horizontal would do. The lower edges of the trunks and branches would catch the full sun and provide a nice contrast to the dark of the other side?

Awsome work though Ryan! Been a fan for years. Makes me glad I have opted for that lifetime membership.

"Canopy Creek, Autumn"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 8:23 am

I really like this one. It somehow "Feels Right", especially during this time of the year. Part of this may be that I grew up in a rural part of Northwest Georgia, where my father had a hay field that bordered a slow flowing creek, covered with a canopy of hardwood trees, just like in your image. This creek was at the base of Lookout Mountain, and during the autumn, the colors of both the creek and the mountain were phenomenal. I used to love going there in the Fall. Thanks for the reminder.

Question:

Will you be doing a Winter and a Spring Canopy Creek? I have always liked your "Changing Seasons" sequences of images, and this one would be a great addition to that group.

"A little Variation"

Tue October 13, 2009 at 6:35 am

Sure maybe these could be all the same types of trees... but even the same types of trees do not all change to the same color at the same time... we need some variation in colors... some green, red, orange, yellow, etc.

JeffK

"Nice But.."

Tue October 13, 2009 at 5:15 am

I really love your autumn scenes but this one is just a little too orange/red. There should still be some green on the trees especially if there are a few evergreens in the mix. Not all trees turn at the same time. Of course Im still going to put this on my desktop because its awesome.

Mon October 12, 2009 at 9:31 pm
